Polar mesospheric clouds, ISS image
Polar mesospheric clouds, ISS image. Photograph of polar mesospheric clouds from the northern hemisphere taken by astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Polar mesospheric clouds, also known as noctilucent or night-shining clouds, are the highest clouds in the Earths atmosphere. Made from water ice, these clouds form 76-85 kilometres above the surface and are visible in deep twilight when illuminated by the sun just below the horizon. The dim orange glow just above the horizon is the Earths stratosphere. Photographed 13th June 2012

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty of polar mesospheric clouds, as captured by astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS). These ethereal clouds, also known as noctilucent or night-shining clouds, are the highest in Earth's atmosphere. Composed of water ice particles, they form at an astonishing altitude of 76-85 kilometers above the planet's surface. The photograph was taken from the northern hemisphere and offers a breathtaking perspective on these elusive phenomena. Illuminated by the sun just below the horizon during deep twilight, these delicate clouds create a stunning display against the dark backdrop of space. The soft hues and intricate patterns formed by these noctilucent clouds evoke a sense of wonder and mystery. Notably, this image also captures a faint orange glow just above the horizon - Earth's stratosphere. This subtle contrast adds depth to an already awe-inspiring composition. Taken on June 13th, 2012, this photograph is a testament to humanity's ability to explore and observe our planet from space. It serves as a reminder of both our curiosity about Earth's natural wonders and our technological achievements in studying them. Science Photo Library has expertly preserved this remarkable moment through their high-quality print. Whether displayed in homes or educational institutions alike, it invites viewers to contemplate the vastness and beauty that lies beyond our terrestrial boundaries.
